Finding an agent

Getting an agent can open doors to new clients for freelance illustrators and take your career to the next level. It’s often difficult for an illustrator starting out on their own to gain access to the most desirable clients, and agents are there to promote you and your work to the best in the industry. Illustrator Stanley Chow explains: “Without CIA [Central Illustration Agency] I would never have known how to get an advertising commission or how much to charge.”
